Park Information
Jarstad Park lies on the eastern edge of the city's water utility forest lands on 4 acres alongside Gorst Creek. Gorst Creek, once a main drinking water source for the City of Bremerton, is now the site of a stream restoration project. Only 10 minutes from Bremerton, the park features trees, open grassy spaces and beautiful views of Gorst Creek, which supports summer and fall runs of Chinook, silver and coho salmon.

Jarstad Park was dedicated for Otto Jarstad in 1966. Jarstad was the first watershed foreman and worked for the City of Bremerton during the Great Depression and wartime eras. The park is situated near the Jarstad Family's original homestead location. The Department of Public Works and Utilities is pleased to make Otto Jarstad Park available to the community on a reservation basis.
